Xbox-exclusive characters for SFxT?

The PlayStation 3 and PS Vita versions of upcoming fighting game Street Fighter x Tekken feature infamous star Cole MacGrath as an exclusive playable character – but will the Xbox 360 version also get an exclusive character?

"That will depend entirely on Microsoft," Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono told Eurogamer.

"Sony called us up and wined and dined us," Ono said, jokingly, of Cole's inclusion in the game. "Just Starbucks, but I'm a big coffee fan so watching those beans get ground up really tugged at my heartstrings.

"Let me rewind, Microsoft just took me to Starbucks. Sony ground the beans for me. That's the difference.

Kratos fits into the mortal kombat universe for me but I am still not sure if Cole will in Street Fighter

Killzone3Helghast5456d ago

I agree.. specialy when they put Cole on roids o.O

DrFUD5456d ago

I totally see the cross over.
Cole shoots the electric while Ryu shoots whatever that Haduken energy is.

Peaceful_Jelly5456d ago

I agree, Kratos went well with the MK universe but Cole is so out of place that if I had an Xbox I wouldn't even buy the game for the PS3. Seriously.

Why o why5456d ago

cole

cody

same type for me, in fact i think cole fits more than cody, guy and the likes

Jinxstar5456d ago

That just sounds kinda.... Well You could complain just as much about Super Smash bros or Marvel vs Capcom 3 for putting weird off the wall players in it. Truth is though EVO and all other competitive games challenges use PS3 as the standard. Don't like Cole? Don't play him... It's all in the name of fun though. It makes me want to game that much more. What your saying is "I want the version with fewer characters because..." It makes you sound like an elitist fanboy if you are or aren't I don't really care. Not trying to insult you just pointing out why everyone is disagreeing with you...

It's like Forza or GT saying "Were gonna add the oscar meyer wiener truck to X version of the game(If they were multiplat that is)" and you saying "Thats dumb I wont even support that version and buy the opposite because I think extra stuff is bad".

Now if you only had one console and it was a character like joker in Batman AA I could understand the frustration. but this is a Sony character on a Sony console. If MS got Banjo in their version which would you buy then?

Baka-akaB5456d ago

I dont see the problem with cole here ... havent you people seen the like of C viper among other things ? She basically got the same electric powers along with fire .

And cole is some urbean wear dude , fitting with sf's era .

Of all crossover it's hardly the weirdest

NAGNEWS5456d ago

i thought kratos was immortal ;(

Focker4205456d ago

Have you happened to play GOW3?? He goes around killing every 'immortal' God.

NAGNEWS5456d ago

that was the god of war rules but in mortal combat someone has to die, so if i chose kratos that means winning right?

the fps style at the end was awesome!!

oricon5456d ago

I really wish they didn't put cole in, its a crossover between Tekken and Streetfighter there no point of him being in it, I'd rather have a SF or Tekken character because it will be pretty annoying if Cole got in and not some character from the 2 franchises you wanted to main.

Sounds like Microsoft tried to talk to him but Ono like the cut of Sony's jib better. Makes you wonder who Microsoft could use as an exclusive character anyway? Your own avatar?

DrFUD5456d ago (Edited 5456d ago )

That's the thing...
Microsoft doesn't really have games
They're just happy to be getting Street Fighter x Tekken and live on the 3rd party.
Maybe they can work out a deal with Capcom to use one of Capcom's own characters that only appears on 360 because they have nothing to offer except money

Why o why5456d ago (Edited 5456d ago )

elmo fits

angry elmo i mean... i hear he's bada55

to be fair i didnt think zelda fit into the soul calibur universe until i played with him. Maybe the 360 could have spawn like they did back then. He wasnt even an exclusive character

just like mortal kombat 9 right microsoft?

mafiahajeri5456d ago

Cole fits perfectly no exclusive character on the 360 is good for any fighting game...

Ducky5456d ago

Skittles/Elmo vs Kuma/Gon?

GameSpawn5456d ago

Lol... Imagine Master Chief in Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. He would be more of a joke character than anything else. Consequence of a console full of shooters I guess.

DeadpoolBub5456d ago

What would make Master Chief different from Chris in MvC3 or Stryker in MK? He'd be a keepaway character like the two I mentioned.

jetlian5456d ago

like cole is a fighter! infamous is a shooter. they could always use the fable guy

GameSpawn5455d ago

@DeadpoolBub
Master Chief isn't exactly known for his melee abilities. Also guns as long range attacks are kind of a cop out for a fighting game. Cole's electric powers are akin to any of Capcom's or King of Fighters' characters' special attacks. Just think of Master Chief throwing an electric ball and tell me you don't laugh at little at that mental picture. Chris and Resident Evil still have a heavy melee element so his character can work believably with all the other characters in MvC3. Stryker was already written into the MK mythos so his character would naturally fit.

@Jetlian
Infamous is an Action Adventure Platformer. It's only a shooter if all you do is hang back throwing lighting bolts. Each person's play style will effect how much Infamous is or isn't a shooter. I see it mostly as a platformer due to the heavy amount of climbing and parkour.

jetlian5455d ago

its a shooter dude. its uncharted with open worlds! Sure you can climb or melee however it isn't a sound way to beat the game.

cole has a sniper mode for crying out loud

This might be off topic, but i don't see anyone bitching about Cammy's costume with her tight costume

VTKC4676d ago

thats true. I think maybe because there is no camel toe and no nipples. Great showing of ass though-so yeah its still suprising that no ones bitched about it

SynestheticRoar4676d ago

They don't want Chun-Li to get all the glory.

Hoffmann4676d ago

Oh don't worry ^^ This Cammy Article was made to "test the waters" and see if people would like such a "best of" article in addition to the normal game character articles we have which are a mix of infos, official art and fan art as well as cosplay.

While we have a big gallery for Chun Li already there will be a similar article with 25 or more Chunny artworks as well ..its quite difficult to cover them in our normal articles

AznGaara4676d ago

Cammy! My main in Sf4. Such a fun character and also a strong female.

Anybody got any impressions of Mortal Kombat vs. DC? Is it worth 5 dollars?

SDF Repellent4829d ago

It is not the deepest fighting game but it is pretty entertaining if you are a fan of DC and/or MK. Definitely worth $5 IMO. I just bought it yesterday.

Jek_Porkins4829d ago

Pretty good actually, I mean for $5 it's definitely worth it. Although it isn't as good as the newest MK game.

jdktech20104829d ago

Yea I'm debating....

I'm not a huge fighting game pro or even novice but I'm looking at injustice godsa mong us....

So it's injustice for 45 after gift cards or mk vs dc for 5....maybe both I guess lol

Bimkoblerutso4829d ago

Pretty much what SDF said. It's not really a competitive fighting engine, but it's good for the DC fanservice.

Street Fighter 4. Arguably the best fighting game of this generation.

Father Murder X4829d ago

Thanks. I guess I will pick it up.
